Putin should be a world hero for saving Syria and defeating ISIS

You do realise that the tactics and methods used in Syria has never changed between Obama and Trump?

You do realize that is an absolute load of baloney? Obama took active measures to give funds and weaponry to the rebel forces fighting against Assad,
insisting they were "moderate" freedom fighters. The White House officially announced it would give military aid to the rebels in 2012 even though
they had already been smuggling weaponry into Syria across the Turkish border before that:
Understanding the situation with Syria, ISIS, and Turkey.

The US and Russian efforts in Syria were completely at odds until Trump got into office and made the decision he would try to work with Russia in
order to take out ISIS, and within a year it looks like we're already getting very close to that goal. The reason Russia still isn't given any credit
is because the MSM wont allow it, the only thing they will talk about is how Russian and Syrian strikes are killing civilians, when in reality the
civilians are not being allowed to leave and being used as human shields by the rebels, it's utterly disgusting, yet for so long people like you in
the western world insisted we should support them in order to take down Assad.

OH snap. I guessed I missed that on the tube. Must have been awesome to see a “man” with bone spurs go out and defeat ISIS.
Oh and your new profile pic is cute.....yes kids are sheeple

The US has bases in 178 countries and have toppled more countries democratically elected governments than any other nation in modern history. The CIA
game of destabilizing anyone who doesn't help support our "national interests" (see big oil, natural resources, central banking) goes on the list and
this has gone on under every president since 1947, regardless of the political party in charge.

How any self respecting person interested in conspiracies can still defend one side while attacking the other when it comes to foreign policy is
beyond me. They take turns picking on which "enemy" needs to be dealt with, but its the same MO, they let us in or we take them out.

Its a protection racket on steroids and will get us in to the deepest of trouble unless we magically take everyone out and rule the world, which seems
unlikely given Chinese and Russian history.

Syria started out as a civil war, where rebels who had enough of Assad did what so many of you Americans reckoned you wanted to do against Obama...

Problem was ISIS took advantage of all that, they’re the actual terrorists, yet according to Assad and Putin, if you stand against Assad, you’re a
terrorist.

The thing is a civil war is never that simple, especially when the war in Libya just ended and all those fighters were flowing into Syria along with a
bunch of ISIS fighters right along side them. I am not American, and that is no excuse, if a group of people had of armed themselves and tried to take
down Obama they would have been quickly labeled terrorists without a second thought, so why should Assad not view the rebels in the same fashion,
especially considering that we now know almost guaranteed they were responsible for the initial chemical attacks which made the western world
intervene. Would simple freedom fighters use chemical weapons against civilians in order to bolster western support, would they use civilians as
humans shields? There is no excuse for aiding and abetting the overthrow of a sovereign government in another nation, at least not without any solid
proof that the leadership really deserves to be dismantled. And I'm still very angry people were brainwashed by the MSM for so long, that is the main
reason I have zero trust in the MSM these days.

I don’t know how true it is, and it has been a long time so nice I read about it, but if I’m right there is a fairly well sourced conspiracy
theory that putin faked a terrorist attack to win his first election as PM.

He was the hard liner on Eastern European anti Russian terrorists. Then on the eve of the election. There is a big one the goes south big time..

Lots of dead bodies and then the whole country faces a wave of nationalism and putin wins..

I don’t just instantly believe stuff like this , so idk, but ALOT of people have been pinning it on him for years.
